description: "The shadow of the stainless steel rod on the dials with Roman numerals indicates the true local time (WOZ) for Steinhude, which shows the sun's highest position at XII. The dials with Arabic numerals show Central European Time (CET). Our clocks are also set to CET, but in summer they are set to Central European Summer Time (CEST = CET plus 1 hour). As CET is based on the 15th degree of longitude east, but Steinhude is on the 9th degree of longitude east, approx. 24 minutes must be added to WOZ due to the movement of the sun from east to west. (approx. 4 minutes per degree of longitude). This results in a difference of approx. 24 minutes (1 hour 24 minutes in summer) in the display between the Roman and Arabic dials. The sundial was set up in 2009 by Steinhuder Meer Tourismus GmbH&nbsp;."

The sundial is located in the park at the beach terraces in Steinhude

 The shadow of the stainless steel rod on the dials with Roman numerals indicates the true local time (WOZ) for Steinhude, which shows the sun's highest position at XII. The dials with Arabic numerals show Central European Time (CET). Our clocks are also set to CET, but in summer they are set to Central European Summer Time (CEST = CET plus 1 hour). As CET is based on the 15th degree of longitude east, but Steinhude is on the 9th degree of longitude east, approx. 24 minutes must be added to WOZ due to the movement of the sun from east to west. (approx. 4 minutes per degree of longitude). This results in a difference of approx. 24 minutes (1 hour 24 minutes in summer) in the display between the Roman and Arabic dials. The sundial was set up in 2009 by Steinhuder Meer Tourismus GmbH .
